I used LG a lot and once they left the market I had to look for alternatives. I like small phones so it was between the S22 and Asus Zenfone. I considered a Sony too, even though it was long. Ultimately what swayed me was that Asus had too many issues (people waking up to bricked phones) and not enough updates. Sony didn’t have a gallery and it had that horribly ugly Android quick settings interface, with humongous rectangles instead of small circles. Then I got a free A32 5G from my carrier and tinkered around with it. I loved it right away. Very intuitive UI, looks great, every action is anticipated and the interface offers all the options you need at any time. Photo management and editing in the gallery was easy and very streamlined. Even better than LG. It basically fixed all my complaints about other Androids I’ve used. After that, I decided to go with the S22 for my next phone. I wouldn’t be happy with any other phone after experiencing Samsung honestly.

Yep, Apple gets salty when people want to use other brands’ accessories so they make them seem like a bad product by taking away features. With an iPhone, you can’t reply to messages from a Garmin or any other watch that offers the feature. You can’t clear out the Garmin app or else functionality of the watch breaks down, and you can’t choose which notifications come to your watch. All or nothing.

Connecting and non-Apple product to any Apple product is the least pleasant experience ever. And the common denominator here is Apple products.

Yeah, that’s annoying. It used to stretch sideways, too, if you scrolled side to side. That was the worst and it actually made me nauseous. Recent Android UI also made the quick settings panel unbearably ugly. I’m grateful to Samsung for protecting us from it, haha. I understand why you can’t control every single aspect of UI behavior. There would be so many settings that no one would even bother trying to find the right one, and it would require a lot of extra programming. I am happy with the options that Android and Samsung provide.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll wait to update until there’s a fix.

It’s so amusing how people care about what’s “outdated.” Do you like the teardrop notch or the massive notch that’s basically a bezel with two reverse notches of a bit of screen showing through, lol. Anyway, that’s really not the biggest difference at all. The two phones are not comparable IMO.

This case is popular among a certain demographic that wants to look like military bros, but it’s honestly so ugly. The price adds insult to injury. If you like it, that’s all that matters, and I don’t want to take away your joy, but I have a hard time understanding why it’s so popular.
